This time, Liu Lang thought of the investigation of the new recruit battalion to attack various bandits who were rampant in Qiu Tongzhou.

This idea came from Zhou Shiyu, the company commander of the Death Company.

Since becoming the company commander of the Death Company, Zhou Shiyu and his sixteen soldiers have become the only established company at the Independent Regiment Base that does not have to participate in daily training. Liu Lang gave him great authority and allowed him to recruit soldiers freely. All equipment and treatments are up to 30% of the ordinary company. All training is determined by him himself. Except for Liu Lang, the other commanders have no right to interfere.

In other words, Zhou Shiyu can play with his sixteen soldiers every day, as long as he doesn't run away during the war, he can't run away. Of course, he can't run away even if he wants to run away. He can avoid death as a deserter. If he comes again, even the gods can't save them.

Of course, Zhou Shiyu and his sixteen soldiers did not dare to play with each other. They have not been idle in the past three months, and recruiting enough soldiers is the top priority for the death.

When I heard the name of "Dao Dying", no matter how cold the new recruits and veterans were, they were in a cold mood. They were not envious of the super high treatment they received. It was naturally a huge difficulty to let them join. In addition to Zhou Shiyu's more than 20 Jiangyang thieves brought bandits to the recruit camp to train, there were also more than ten people who had been cheating and cheating for a long time and were taken to the mine by the regiment commander to mine to serve as a warning. Even if they were killed, there were only 30 new recruits and veterans who had joined together.

If only these 30 people go to the battlefield, they will probably not be the company of Death, but the company of Death. Seeing that Cai Dadao and others were doing well in the recruit camp, Zhou Shiyu, who was inspired, naturally took his mind to the bandits. Since there was no one in the prison, it was easy to say, so he would arrest him.

Otherwise, the kingdom people value official positions so much, and once this person is promoted, his vision and mind will change. It is naturally not easy to rely on his own to catch bandits, but what if it is replaced by an independent group? Zhou Shiyu made his mind to the new recruits assessment and told Liu Lang about this suggestion a month ago. There was no doubt that Liu Lang agreed without thinking more.

To eliminate the bandits who lived by plundering, it will be peaceful in Tongzhou, Beiqiu, and at the same time, it will allow new recruits to grow in actual combat, and finally satisfy Zhou Shiyu's desire to replenish his soldiers, killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, there is another reason Liu Lang didn't say it. During this period, Liu Lang was almost madly poor.

The Independent Corps Base is a completely gold-eating beast. I got 150,000 silver coins from the Military Headquarters and the Gou Family, and my father supported 500,000.

A total of 650,000 silver coins were there, and Liu Lang could say that he was a rich man or a rich man. You know, the courtyard house in the royal capital now only had 500 silver coins.

But this wealth that many people may not see in their lifetime was almost used up before Liu Lang's three months. Although Lu Cong had sent a telegram that the domestic fertilizer powder they cooperated with was already on the market a month ago, and although they did not catch up with the busy farming season, it was nearly twice the price compared to imported fertilizer powder, and the monthly profit reached an astonishing 100,000 yuan. This is just the beginning of the product's launch and the most off-season. You can imagine how amazing the profit of fertilizer will reach as time goes by and the arrival of the busy farming season.

However, distant water cannot quench near thirst, and Liu Lang needs money now.

The monthly military pay for more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment is as high as 40,000 silver coins, and the military expenditure of the escort team of up to 6,000 people in each village is slightly less, but it also requires 20,000 silver coins. The continuous investment of materials, labor and other expenses in the Independent Regiment's fortress base is a bottomless pit. The expense of 60,000 silver coins per month is the result of the logistics officer Liang Wenzhong saving a little bit with his fingers. This has not yet been considered the investment of the three factories that are crucial to the Independent Regiment. Whenever he sees Liang Wenzhong coming to sign with a thick bill with a bitter face, Liu Lang also wants to cry and jump out of the window and run away. The string of tragic numbers written on it will definitely make a heart attack like Ji Yanxue's father suffer on the spot.

As the saying goes, "Without wealth, no wealth, no horse, no grass, no fat." After Zhou Shiyu's proposal, Liu Lang immediately put his mind on the bandits who ran around Tongzhou, Beiqiu. If you have money, I'm afraid that there will be no more money in Tongzhou, Beiqiu, than those bandits who are good at doing business without foundation.

The poor Green Forest heroes never expected that one day, they were labeled as "fat sheep" and became the big fat meat in the eyes of a crazy poor fat man.

It took a full month for Zhou Shiyu and his sixteen soldiers disguised themselves and searched everywhere in Qiu Tongzhou, and chose the six giant bandits with the greatest public resentment and the strongest power to provide Liu Lang as their target.

There are many bandits with thousands, and the few are four or five hundred. They are all robbed the rich and robbed the poor. They are rampant and domineering and destroying their families and silence their mouths. They all have the right to die.

Therefore, Liu Lang said it very clearly in the order given to each recruit company. The bandit leader was killed. If he had abandoned his weapons and surrendered, he would carefully identify it. Those who committed a bloody crime would be executed on the spot. 20% of the property he received was assigned to the company itself, and 80% of the property he received was handed over to the regiment headquarters.

To put it bluntly, how can you think that the horse will not eat grass? Liu Lang himself hopes to make a fortune from breaking through the bandit's nest. It's even more useless to talk about the recruits who came from ordinary families and had not read many books. No matter how many great principles there are, it is far better to give some affordable things.

Of course, relying on wealth to win over people's hearts can only be achieved for a moment. If you want to gather true morale, you have to rely on something else. War is actually the best place for smelting of the newly established Independent Corps. The Black Hawk Army is like a sledgehammer. As long as one person does not hammer the iron of the Independent Corps completely, the more fierce the hammer is, the more sharp the iron of the Independent Corps, and it will eventually grow into a sharp blade that can make all the Black Hawk Empire soldiers flow through blood.

Because the warlords in Qiu Tongzhou attacked each other all year round, the warlords were busy defending their territory and had no time to take care of it. It is not an exaggeration to describe the bandits in Qiu Tongzhou as numerous as cows. There are more than a dozen famous bandit nests in such poor mountains and rivers.

The most famous of them is the giant bandits entrenched at the junction of the three counties. The four brothers of the Huang family are known as the Four Tigers, with more than 1,800 bandits and more than 200 miles of surrounding areas. Moreover, this giant bandit is different from other Green Forest heroes who have no business after robbing them. They even manipulate opium, financial and other transactions in the surrounding three counties, and have joined forces with a series of forces such as bureaucrats, Ge Laohui, landlords, bandits, etc. to form a bandit consortium headed by him, which looks like a small warlord.

But although the warlords were brutal, they still knew that the people on their territory were crops in their own fields. As long as they did not cut off their roots, they could harvest them again next year. These killings and robberies were just small roads, and he had done several cases of destroying villages and genocides.

When talking about the Four Tigers in Qiu Tongzhou, everyone was disgusted. It was not necessary for Zhou Shiyu to say that Liu Lang had heard of the reputation of this big bandit when he first came to Andong City.
